1 3/4 c. sugar
1 c. molasses
1 c. Crisco
2 eggs or egg substitute
3 rounding tsp. baking soda
1 each tsp. vanilla, cinnamon
2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. cloves
4 c. flour

Mix all ingredients. Chill dough for several hours. Roll dough to walnut size and bake on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes in preheated oven at 350 degrees. Sometimes I sprinkle a little flour on my hands when forming the cookies.

Do not flatten out cookie, leave it in a ball shape.
